The Center for Talent Development offers a new and unique service to Dakota Wesleyan students. We will help you through each stage of your college experience – from choosing a major to starting your career.

A restructuring of the former Career Center, this office offers services such as career coaching, academic consultation, internship coordination and talent recognition.

In addition, the Center for Talent Development has information about campus activities, service projects, part-time jobs and other opportunities available at DWU and in the community.

Above all, this service ties together all aspects of the Dakota Wesleyan educational experience, ensuring that you get the most out of your time in college. The Center for Talent Development will make sure you are satisfied while you’re here and prepared when you leave. Every student can benefit from stopping by!
